What it does

The whole rig, from anywhere

Deck is a remote-control app built by a ham, for hams. It talks to your radio through a small bridge program on your shack PC — at home over Wi-Fi, or from anywhere via Tailscale.

Full rig control

Frequency, mode, filters, AGC, noise reduction, RF gain, power, PTT, tuner — the controls you reach for on the front panel, on your phone. Profiles for the IC-7300 MK2 and Xiegu G90, more on the way.

Live waterfall & calibrated S-meter

Real-time spectrum and waterfall straight from the radio, with an S-meter calibrated against your rig's own readings — and streaming receive audio.

FT8, built in

Decode right in the app, click a station to answer, or call CQ with auto-sequenced QSOs. Background monitoring with a countdown timer, SNR display, and one-operator lock.

JS8Call, built in

The full JS8Call feature set — heartbeats, relays, directed messages, auto-responses — without a second program on the PC.

Logbook & QRZ

Every contact logged with country flag, distance and SNR. Upload to QRZ with your own API key, with day/week/month/lifetime stats.

Made for real shacks

Band plans and frequency favorites, voice memories for calling CQ, themes for day and night, and a layout that adapts from a Z Fold to a tablet.

Setup

On the air in three steps

STEP 01

Install the Deck Bridge

A small free program on the Windows PC your radio is connected to. It links the app to your rig over USB or your existing digirig interface.

STEP 02

Install the app

Grab VE3FGH's Deck from Google Play on your Android phone or tablet. No account, no ads, no data collection.

STEP 03

Connect & operate

At home it finds your shack PC automatically. Away from home, the app walks you through Tailscale so the shack is never more than a tap away.
